ALBAWABA- Hunter Biden, the son of US President Joe Biden, has been found guilty on all three counts in his gun case, according to reports. 

The charges against him include making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm by claiming he was not a drug user, making a false statement on a form required to be kept by a federal firearms dealer, and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. 

These charges stem from a 2018 incident when Hunter Biden allegedly bought a gun while being addicted to drugs, a fact he later admitted in his memoir. 

The conviction marks a significant legal development, highlighting the serious nature of the allegations and their implications.
